Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Eloy Jimenez [Autograph] #77A sell for $31.00, only $0.00 above the $97.49 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($28.49) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $97.49
